Interesting. That's all I have to say about the last few days. Or maybe eventful would better describe it. I'm not too sure. Friday is when it all started... after I had posted the last entry. I did get to mail out Tony's packages. My dad had to bring me to the post office of course, because my butt is carless due to the car accident. I'm not too thrilled about that. So after going to the post office, I had my dad drop me off at D's house. We had plans to get some Christmas shopping done. Our plans were annihilated when her and her dad engaged in a WWIII. I won't get into details.. but I was beyond scared. Her dad hurt her pretty bad.. physically. I had no idea what to do. There we were sitting on the couch, watching TV, when the next thing I know her dad had her pushed down into the couch with his hands on her neck. It went on for a good 10 minutes.. it felt like a lot longer than that. Next, I found myself downstairs holding D, doing the best I could to console her, while she cried her heart out on my shoulder. We finally left and started walking to the police station.. when she tried to dial 911 her dad ripped the phone off the floor and threw it. We were almost half way there when her mom picked us up and brought us to my house. Her mom was unable to find her dad at all. He took off by foot for a good 1 1/2-2 hours. We spent some time talking and watching TV... just trying to calm down from the previous events.
I was finally able to borrow the car and go to the mall with D... to try and get some Christmas shopping done. We ended up leaving shortly after we got there. All ended up finding was some Christmas cards for the boys, and I got myself another cell phone charger because I misplaced my other one. We decided to go to Denny's, like we used to do all the time... before she started getting in trouble for getting home too late... from Denny's. I'm not going to lie, we'd get to Denny's at about 11pm and wouldn't leave until about 1 or 2am. All we did was fill up on coffee, chain smoke, and talk. We don't party any more. We don't drink. We don't do drugs. We have changed our lifestyles, and for some reason, no one seems to notice any of that. It's always the negative aspects that they seem to fixate on.
After Denny's, D decided she wanted to go to the police station.. but when she found out she'd have to go to trial and stand before a judge, etc, etc... she said couldn't do it. She ended up not pressing charges against her dad, but her mom still booted her out of the house. So on Saturday we went to her house to get her stuff. Her mom then stated that she hopes the 2 of us have bad luck and that we are messed up in the head.. or something along those lines. As uncomfortable as I felt, I didn't dare leave that house. D needed me there. She is my best friend and she has done so much for me.. there was no way I was leaving her side... and I refused to leave that house without her.
The weekend rolled by painfully slow... due to my lack of a vehicle. We watched some movies, cried some tears, and were finally able to share a few laughs. However, today, her parents tricked her into going home. Her dad called my cell phone last night and talked to her for quite a while saying that he was sorry and he wanted his daughter home and that things will change, etc, etc. Her mom picked her up earlier this AM and D found out that the only reason they wanted her home was so they could try and get her admitted to a psych hospital. I have to work today, and can't really be around for her. I feel awful about that! But I am going to do everything I can to help that girl! When my father picks me up from work tonight, I am going to have him pick her up and bring her back here to my house. My husband is gone right now.. so there is no way I am letting my best friend leave me too. I'm lonely without Tony, but D helps keep me on track.. I'd be completely lost without her.

Enough for now.. I need to get my sneakers on and head to work. I'll update later this week.. if I'm not too lazy of course.
